How to Create A Website To Make Money Online In Zimbabwe

How to make a website

Knowing how to create a website in Zimbabwe is very important if you are to make money in Zimbabwe online. A website, is the tool you need to make money anywhere in the world.

Living in Zimbabwe is no exception to creating a business online as long as you have an internet connection and a computer.

This post will walk you through the steps of how to create a website using WordPress.

There are several hosts out there. I don’t know which one to choose.
Experience is the best teacher. I’m going to share information based on my own experiences.

I have used a few hosting services: Namecheap.com, the SiteRubix at Wealthyaffiliate.com (WA) and Hostgator.com.

The reason you need a website

Can you imagine what a website could do for your business online? It is the most important tool that engineers your online business.

The backbone and the focal point where you will get traffic, build your brand, build trust and sell your products or services.

I don’t want to lie to you, to find a genuine host on its own is an enormous task. I have walked that road.

What it feels like to create a website at SiteRubix

SiteRubix is a site builder. WealthyAffiliate.com powers SiteRubix. SiteRubix has obliterated all the technical aspects of building a website. It’s amazing you will be up and running within minutes.

With SiteRubix hosting, you’ll receive training, support, and tools to help your passion business thrive.

I enjoyed the convenience of finding three services in one place: website builder, hosting and training

What kind of website do you want to build?

Wealthy Affiliate has a flexible approach to meet the diverse needs of its customers. You don’t have this feeling of being pushed to do something.

WA leaves the choice entirely in your hands, as the customer to choose the type of website you want to build. It’s FREE to have a SiteRubix domain?

Option 1- Build Your Website on SiteRubix

As a starter member, WA gives you two options. To build your website on the SiteRubix domain, a free website you can create under 30 seconds. This offer allows you to build and host up to 2 FREE websites.

You will get all the necessary features for your website, including passwords, profiles, feedback, site health, email accounts, and support, with SiteRubix.

Option 2- Create your website on your OWN domain

The second option is to build your website in your OWN domain. WA is reputable for the service it offers, through its advanced SiteDomains platform.

WA uses very efficient and sophisticated tools that will set up your domain instantly, ready for your use.

The moment you become a premium member at WA; you automatically get access to join its vibrant community. Joining WA is an opportunity not to miss.

You get to interact with other members and who will give you some feedback and comments on your actual website (it’s part of the training package)

Why You Need Comments

A website with comments will get better rankings in the internet search engine. To determine your rank within their search results, Google looks at metrics like engagement.

However, these comments must relate to your article. For example, if your article is on “the best techniques to lose weight,” comments you’re going to approve should be completely relevant for this.

Can I transfer my domain registered elsewhere?

You will transfer your domain to WA servers. WA has a system within its SiteRubix platform that allows you to move a website from one domain to another (transferring Your Website to Your Domain).

The benefits of having Own domain

Buying your own domain simply means you now have your own asset. A domain ownership means you are in full control. Once you buy a domain, it becomes entirely yours and you control every aspect of your domain.

A domain increases in value. If you choose the route to build out your website and your domain, it will increase in value just like any real estate asset.

 Choose the “.com” version of a domain as they tend to rank the best

Let’s presume you are using a free.siterubix.com website. These domains rank, but looking at the bigger picture, it’s best to own your own domain. Having your own .com,. org, or.net domain carries some real incentives.

When you have your own domain, it ranks better. Having your domain name gives you a huge competitive advantage in succeeding online.

Choose a domain suitable for your Niche

It’s not a must for the domain name to include keywords, but it should be brandable and relevant. For example, if your niche was “How to Lose Belly Fat” your domain name would be howtolosebellyfat.com.

You can’t change your domain name once it has gone Live. Pick something that you enjoy.

WA Hosting Service Design Fast & Easy

I have used WA hosting service, and it has so much to offer. I never imagined that it is so easy to build a very good and fully functional website on its platform.

WA is among the top leads in the website development industry. It has developed a sophisticated and advanced SiteBuilder platform which is very simple to use.

SiteRubix’s powerful features make your website operate securely at a high speed. Also, provides protection from hackers and spammers.

Transferring your domains to WA allows you to enjoy a one-stop-shop experience! WA also teaches you how to set up your website and get ready for rankings in search engines.

A training video is available, specifically designed to help you create your website. Believe me! It will take a few minutes to get your website up and running.

One outstanding service you can’t get anywhere else is the way WA works behind the scenes, and will take care of all the technical stuff, unlike other website builders.

Only premium members have unlimited websites; unlimited hosting, email accounts, premium monitoring, and security, and 24/7 website support.

This gives you room to create many successful sites for one or many niches. Also, premium members have access to over 2,400 theme choices and unlimited combinations of plugins and setup options.

Access to a 24-hour service helpline. The Support Team is just outstanding and quick to respond to various issues. It doesn’t matter what question you throw at them.

The support team always responds timeously. It’s amazing how the support team is so dependable and dedicated.

Premium members can easily install websites on their domain and access exceptional themes for your website. I recommend you choose a theme that is simple and emphasizes content creation.

I am sharing the host services I have used, including Wealthy Affiliate – SiteRubix, Namecheap, and HostGator, to build websites.

Check out the posts below to find out what it takes to create a website on these platforms.

(1) Create A Website With Namecheap

(2) Create Your Website With HostGator

HostGator Hosting Service

HostGator is the host of my site, and their service is exceptional. Their Baby Plan that I’m on is $12.95/month, but if you’re a new member, you can start as low as $3.50 per month!

What I love about the HostGator plan is that I can use the “Add-on” domain feature and add as many websites as I want.

I registered my domain with Wealthy Affiliate and transferred it to HostGator. And I had to point my domain to a HostGator in order for my domain URL to be hosted at HostGator.
